Summer? -1 degrees C at mine this morning! Been tying flies and making titanium leaders the last few nights and hope to get out for my first Pike session on Saturday.

Please do let us know how it is when you try it.

Finally weather was nice and I had time to test and try "Pike Time"
I changed a lot of streamers and few lines. I found the best choice was Rio Max II - 10F/I
What I could say about rod (blank). It has all what I expect from pike rod, really all characteristic which I need.
Casting was easy controlled, smooth and relaxed.

I had few different catch on the rod, but no one so enough to fill secret power of rod.

Now I can only wait Mike's new Pike Barrio Lines on the stock :)

For now, I am sure, I do not need any other rod, maybe just one more Epic 990 for uneven bad situation during fishing  :z6

Maybe Fulling Mill will put your Shoe Fly into production?  :X2

Was the Epic an easy rod to cast with bigger flies? The blanks I had rolled here were made with a fast recovery, but a more through action as I honestly think big, heavy flies do not suit fast action rods with "average" casters.

Hi Rob.

Casting with this rod and big or heavy streamers is so, so and so ease. Even it is heavier than graphite rods I expect to be little bit tier, but I was wrong. Yes you can fill more weight but you forget this when you start fishing.

If you measure your vote to buy or not, my suggesting is you should buy for fishing pike.

These days weather become bad for fishing - again I am in T-Shirt :)

Thanks Djordje :)

I have more than enough Pike fly rods, I am sure if I had any more I would be kicked out the house!  :cry

What size flies are you throwing with this rod?

Finally I captures two days to start my pike season in this year. I spent pike time on Joca lake, North part of Serbia. My plan was 4 days but snow stopped my pike time. But, two days was enough to get my final opinion about Epic rod (990-4 - my Pike Time Rod).

Easy casting, I spent about 8 hours in boat with short pause and without be weary of casting. Rod with fish on - perfect.

No problem with any type of streamers. Line was Rio Outbond Short Coldwater F and F/I

Pike on hook ...max about 4kg. Photos soon.

Cheers
